Immersion Therapy
Submerged in a 2004
Domaine de Belliviere Jasnieres Les Rosiers
He relaxes with a good book
Vinotherapy well underway ..
Grape extracts soothe his skin
Antioxidants slow the aging process
Troubles simply float away
Vessel less than half full ..
What you can't see
Is the straw through which he sips
oh very good! Love the idea of the straw!
ReplyDeleteAah, vive le vino, or something like that. Bene, bene.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by my place and leaving your compliment!
ReplyDeleteYou are a very good poet, I know I have commented before, and I have told myself a time or two to hit the follow button, but for some reason I didn't...gonna change that you have got poetry chops!
and I would have a straw also...pickling works from the inside as well ass the out...

Excellent. Good to see he is a proponent of organic winemaking - no wonder he's so laid back. He should watch that straw-sipping though lest it bring a rush of alcohol to the blood.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful idea...
ReplyDeleteOh,I would love to indulge in a little vinotherapy too. That soothing effect sounds so good. MMMMmmm...... Thank you for sharing this, Mary. BTW, your poem reminds me of the wine glasses my daughter received for Christmas. They were a mason shaped jar perched on a stem. LOL =D
ReplyDeletehaha...immersion therapy....not that is taking it all the way....so do let us know if it works wont you...smiles...
ReplyDeleteIntriguing work, Helen.
ReplyDeleteHaha.. in truth he's drowning in his own sorrows? Lovely interpretation,
ReplyDeleteLove your response to the prompt.

ReplyDeleteI love the straw idea! good one- thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are one amazingly brilliant gal Helen! Love this as always!! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery clever. I love it all but the two last lines are magical.
ReplyDeleteM amazed at the creative thought behind this!
ReplyDeleteWhen you drown in your crystal clear tears.
If "vinotherapy" isn't a real thing, it should be. Kudos to you for digging up the photographer's philosophy and for capturing his surreal spirit in your piece.
ReplyDeleteVinotherapy. The invisible straw. Given a bigger jar, I might just jump in there with him!
ReplyDeleteVinotherapy! What a great take! Now we know hwy the glass is half full. Fantastic! Vb
ReplyDeleteVery funny! This one really brought out the comic in everyone. K.
ReplyDeleteHe's sippin' something and I want a share!
